Found: Jacket with Hearing Aid

A reader writes in with the following issue:

The DC United match this past Wednesday night at RFK was "College Night" and there were a number of Gallaudet students present. A coat was left behind that we think belonged to one of the Gallaudetstudents; but there was no identifying information on the coat. In one of the pockets was a hearing aid. I sent an email yesterday morning to Gallaudet's PR/Community Relations address, but no one has responded.

I'm wondering if, in your time here, you've developed any othercontacts at Gallaudet that would be useful here. The hearing aid isprobably valuable and I'd like to get this back to its owner.

Chris

Chris,
You've already taken the first step that I would recommend. Beyond that, maybe the owner is a reader and will see it here. Does anyone else have any good tips for Chris?

You can bring the hearing aid to the Gallaudet speech and hearing clinic. Using the serial number, they can call the company and find the owner whether it is a Gally student or not. Hearing aids are very expensive especially for college students. It is nice of you to try and return the aid.

Thank you so much Chris for taking care of this jacket and hearing aid and reaching out to find the rightful owner! If he contacts community.relations@gallaudet.edu, we can arrange getting the jacket to campus and then Gallaudet can search for its owner. Many thanks for this!
